The trick to scoring fever-flushed cheeks without looking clownish is to apply the cream blush to apples of the cheeks first, then blend your foundation on top. Add some tawny gloss to lips using the sparkly, pink peach shade from the palette and you’ll be naturally gorgeous and ready for prom!

Go bold with your prom makeup look

A spring makeup trend you can use for prom to look beautiful and not overdone is to go slightly bold — either with your eyes or with your lips, but not both.

Bold eyes

Dress up your eyes in vibrant pink and purple shades. Maybelline’s Expert Wear Quad Eye Shadows (1) have descriptions etched into the shadows themselves so you can’t go wrong on where to apply each color. Sweep the lighter “Lid” shade onto your lid. Blend the medium “Crease” shade into your eye crease. Apply the lightest “Brow Bone” shade to your brow bone and the inner corner of your eye. Blend the darkest “Outer Corner” shade into the outer corner and along lower lash line. Try Tulips in Twilight or Bold Blossoms for the perfect color.
